Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons for photo sessions, and as you prepare to capture those delicate moments filled with joy and laughter, it’s essential to think about what to wear. At Kate Buckles Photography, we want to help you look and feel your best. Here are some tips to help you plan the perfect outfits for your fall session.
Embrace Fall Colors
Rich, Warm Tones: Think about the colors of autumn – deep reds, burnt oranges, mustard yellows, and earthy browns. These rich, warm tones complement the natural fall backdrop and bring a cozy, seasonal feel to your photos.
Neutrals and Layers: Neutrals like cream, beige, and gray are great for balancing out bolder colors. Layering with scarves, cardigans, and jackets not only adds texture but also keeps you comfortable as the temperature changes.
Coordinate, Don’t Match
Harmonize Colors: Choose a color palette that complements each other rather than matching outfits exactly. This approach creates a cohesive look without feeling overly coordinated. For example, mix different shades of the same color family or combine a few complementary colors.
Patterns and Solids: Mixing patterns with solid colors can add interest and depth to your photos. Avoid overly busy patterns, but don’t be afraid to incorporate subtle stripes, plaids, or florals. Pair these with solid pieces to keep the look balanced.
Comfort is Key
Weather-Appropriate: Fall weather can be unpredictable, so choose outfits that can easily adapt. Think layers that can be added or removed as needed. Make sure everyone is comfortable, especially children, so they can relax and enjoy the session.
Footwear: Choose comfortable footwear that suits the location. Boots are a great fall option and add a stylish touch to your outfit. Avoid shoes that might be uncomfortable or impractical for outdoor settings.
Add Personal Touches
Accessories: Hats, scarves, and jewelry can add personality and flair to your outfits. Just be mindful not to overdo it – a few well-chosen accessories can enhance your look without being distracting.
Textures and Fabrics: Incorporate different textures like knit sweaters, denim, and corduroy. These materials photograph beautifully and add dimension to your images.
Special Tips for Families
Coordinate with Your Surroundings: If your session is in a park with vibrant fall foliage, choose colors that will stand out against the background. Avoid wearing green if you’ll be surrounded by a lot of greenery.
Keep It Simple for Kids: For children, choose outfits that are comfortable and easy to move in. Avoid anything too fussy or restrictive. Simple, classic pieces often work best.
